Explorers: Big Cats

Claire Llewellyn, illus. by Peter Bull. Kingfisher, $10.99 (32p) ISBN 978-0-7534-6744-2

Action-filled spreads use photographs and digital illustrations to investigate the habits and habitats of “big cats,” such as jaguars, leopards, lions, and tigers. Topics include cats’ abilities, families, hunting, and threats to cat populations. The book’s design replicates that of an app with color-coded buttons linking topics on different pages, allowing readers to trail concepts like prey and superlative feline feats between pages. Though not an exhaustive look at the diverse cat family, it’s a satisfying interactive overview. Simultaneously available: Explorers: Ancient Egypt. Ages 7–10. (Mar.)
